"You're Li Ming?"

Shang Ji looked at the little old man in linen clothes in front of him with a blank expression, and asked in disbelief.

If you want to talk about god-level grandmaster-type talents, Shang Ji has also seen a lot, the earliest ones are Nonghe, and the later ones are Gong Yiqi, Hephaestus, etc., these people have distinct personalities and are different.

But even the most down-to-earth and approachable Nong He also has his own grandmaster bearing, and he doesn't need too much contact, as long as he looks at it from a distance, he can conclude that this is not an ordinary person.

However, this master Li Luo was too simple, his skin was dark, his hands still had thick calluses left by years of labor, his face was wrinkled layer after layer, his eyes were cloudy, his waist was bent, wooden and loyal, and he looked no different from an ordinary farmer. If it weren't for Deng Yan's repeated assurances to make sure that he didn't make the wrong person, Shang Ji would probably think that he was fooled by Gongsun Zhan.

"Yes...... The little old man is Li Ming. ”

Li Meng looked at Shang Ji with some cringe, and the look of horror on his face didn't look like it was fake.

Shang Ji glanced at Deng Yan without a trace, Deng Yan shook his head with a wry smile, and once again signaled that he really didn't make a mistake, this is indeed a god-level water conservancy master.

"Sect Master Li, don't panic, I came to see you today, I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask you about your opinions or suggestions on water conservancy construction, and please express your heart and mind freely."

"Repair...... Do you want to build a canal? ”

Li Ming's godless eyes looked a little strange, and he said as if talking to himself.

"Well, it's a ditch!"

Although the water conservancy project was said to be the repair of canals, especially when this was said from the mouth of a god-level water conservancy master, Shang Ji felt extremely awkward, but Shang Ji still nodded.

"What ditch to build? What is the scale of the project? How much to invest? How long does the project last? How much area is covered? What waters are covered? How much manpower and material resources can be mobilized? ”

Hearing that the canal was really going to be repaired, Li Meng seemed to be a different person for a moment, his waist was no longer bent, his expression was no longer wooden, and the problem was like a cannon half of the cannon being fired outward.

Looking at Li Ming, who was obviously excited, Shang Ji and Deng Yan glanced at each other, and then Deng Yan came out and said: "Master Li, the lord came to visit you to ask for your opinions, combine your opinions, formulate a reasonable plan, and build Pingzhou water conservancy facilities. It is preliminarily estimated that the scale of the final project will not be inferior to the scale of Naizu's construction of Dujiangyan, and in the process of formulating the plan, you have a very high right to speak, and we fully respect your opinions. "It's been all over the class.

"Is that true?"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Deng Yan's smile and asked feverishly.

"Of course, I never joke about such important military and political affairs."

"This ...... This ......"

Li Meng rubbed his hands excitedly, and his face turned into a flower with a smile, and he was speechless with excitement.

His eyes wandered back and forth between Shang Ji and Deng Yan, and he asked a little embarrassedly, "I don't know what the two of you are called?" ”

“？？？”

Shang Ji and Deng Yan were stunned for a moment, with a question mark in their heads, what do they mean? After talking about it for so long, you don't even know who you are?

Seeing this, Li Meng quickly explained: "The two forgive sins, the old man has a talent, and his name is thoughtful. Once the skill is activated, only the most superficial consciousness is left, and the main energy will enter the heart to think and study, and the reaction to the outside world will be greatly reduced. It is only when a specific stimulus is encountered that the main consciousness that is hidden in the outreach is awakened, so ............"

In the end, Li Meng smiled a little embarrassedly, and bowed his hand apologetically to Deng Yan.

"I see!"

Shang Ji's face suddenly realized, no wonder this Li Luo looked a little stupid, it turned out that there was such a reason. There are really no wonders in the beacon fire, even the magical talent of meditation.

"Let me re-introduce, under the name Deng Yan, the word is Hong, and he is the chief of the Che Cavalry General's Mansion. This is the general of the chariot cavalry, the pastor of Pingzhou, the marquis of Yan, and the prince of Shang is secret. ”

Deng Yan smiled and introduced Li Meng again.

"It turned out to be Yan Hou and Deng Chang, disrespectful and disrespectful, there were many offenses before, and I invited the two Haihan."

The main consciousness returned, and Li Ming's words and deeds finally had a bit of grandmaster demeanor, and he said without being surprised.

"It doesn't matter, Master Li's spirit of single-minded study is worthy of our admiration."

After a few polite words, Shang Ji asked: "In Master Li's opinion, how should I plan water conservancy in Pingzhou?" ”

"Again, according to what level of support Yan Hou has, a reasonable plan can be formulated in Xia, but it is stated in advance that if the support provided by Yan Hou cannot satisfy Zaixia, or terminate it halfway, Zai Xia will definitely leave the general in accordance with the principle."

Hearing this, Shang Ji was not in a hurry, and asked with great interest, "What level of support can meet Master Li's basic requirements?" ”

"Eighty percent of the right to use forced labor, for three consecutive years, the investment in water conservancy shall not be less than forty percent of the annual tax of the year, and the annual amount shall not be less than 100 million gold!"

Li Meng waved his sleeves, and his expression remained unchanged and spit out conditions that were absolutely impossible for the princes of the world to accept.

For a prince like Han Fu who occupies a rich land, it is not impossible to squeeze it and spend 100 million gold a year on water conservancy construction, but it is impossible to pay 40 percent of the annual tax.

In the current situation, the income is large and the expenses are also large, and they are eager to spend all their money on the military, and for the big forces, it is not a question of whether they are willing or not to spend 40 percent of their taxes on water conservancy, but they simply cannot do it.

The small forces don't care about spending 40 percent of their annual taxes to build roads, but they can't achieve another target of 100 million gold a year.

Shang Ji was also slightly surprised when he heard this, no wonder Li Ming, a god-level master, has no owner until now, the conditions for this acceptance are really a bit scary, and I am afraid that there are not many people in the world who can meet this standard.

However, Shang Ji is precisely one of the very few princes who has the ability to do both at the same time!

"Master Li, money can be invested, and conscription can also be requisitioned, but Ben General needs to know that after paying so much, what will Ben gain after three years?"

Li Meng didn't answer, but asked, "The Yanhou ruling area is in Pingchen and Liangzhou, right?" ”

"Nature."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers quickly pinched, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "According to the following calculations, the total grain output in the Yanhou area should be about 10 billion stones, right?" Food self-sufficiency should not have been fully achieved, I don't know if what I said is right? ”

Shang Ji was shocked when he heard this, and immediately looked up to Li Meng by three points.

According to the estimated data reported by Deng Yan, after occupying Chenzhou, the annual grain output of Pingchen and Chenchen this year should be 10.8 billion yuan, which is less than 10% different from Li Ming's estimate!

You must know that the total grain output of a force is highly confidential, and there are few people in the entire Xiangping until the specific data, but Li Meng only closed his eyes and calculated it, and gave the approximate data, which really shocked Shang Ji.

Seeing that Shang Ji was silent, Li Meng didn't mind, and continued: "As long as the water conservancy project is built according to Yanhou's plan, the annual grain output will increase by 30% in the first year, and double in the second year, and after three years, the grain output will reach 40 billion stones, and regardless of drought or flood, the grain parameters can be guaranteed to be generally stable!" ”

"This is a situation where we will not continue to expand arable land on a large scale, otherwise grain production will continue to skyrocket!"

In the end, as if he was afraid that the shock would not be big enough, Li Meng immediately added!
